RESUMEN

Se realizó un estudio entomológico durante enero a diciembre de 1988 para estimar la frecuencia y distribución estacional de insectos diptera hematófagos en 2 ranchos ganaderos, en la región del Istmo de Tehuantepec. Un total de 98,948 insectos, representando 12 géneros y 62 especies, fueron capturados utilizando trampas CDC con fuente de luz y hielo seco. Los insectos capturados con mayor frecuencia fueron: Culicoides spp (49.7%), Culex nigripalpus (42.6%), Simulium spp (2.1%) y Culex coronator (1.9%). La captura de insectos incluyó moscas y mosquitos anteriormente identificados como vectores potenciales del virus de lengua azul, estomatitis vesicular y encefalitis equina venezolana.
